I like the new led bulbs. They are way more efficient.
We are closing all kinds of usable coal plants throughout the country. We must save energy some how.
I wonder if we’ll return to whale oil to light America’s lamps? It would certainly involve slaughtering more whales than can be found in the oceans.
We could use tallow candles, but then where could we find enough tallow.
As far as heating is concerned we could all move to Florida in the winter, then come back up north for a few summer months. I’ve been doing this for years.
Those new light bulbs don’t seem to last as long as Thomas Edison’s invention and if you drop and break one you could get sick. But then there’s the benefit that our entrenched political class is pleased with: it gives the Chinese something more to do. What would we do without Chinese industry?
If you can read this thank a Congressperson or a Senateperson.
Word to the wise: KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS FOR LED LIGHTS. I have had a couple ‘burn out’ or cease to function. They are not as reliable as claimed. Be sure you can get your money back.
And instead of funding research in minimizing emissions from coal-fired plants, they are throwing money at unproven or proven inefficient and non-cost effective technology, in return for a slice of the pie.
The only positive note: Hey, Coal Workers Unions, serves you right for backing RATs all these years!
